Intake Grates Compared.....

I'm leaving this here for anyone intrested.

When I got the ski, about a year later, I bought the Riva Grate. This doesn't look like the current Tri Loader, which has the back part trimmed back on the corners but this dates to 1998 probably-may have been the first scoop grate out for this ski, which I bought new in 1996.

Later, installed a Work 205. Kinda beat up now, but it's probably 10 seasons in.
New, is a Work 201. I usually don't have flat water, and got this one for giggles to see if it was better than the OG Riva.

The Riva pulled the ski down a bit too much, making it ride like a Kewasaki 800-buoys over bounce.

Interesting to see the Riva is a flat plate, and the Wor x is curved. The 201 and 205 have the same starting points and curves, just less of it for the 205.

After a ride, short answer...the 201 provided the bite I wanted, more than the 205. It doesn't pull the nose down like the Riva Grate, so I'm quite happy with it...pump is full, you end up with an easier to ride ski.
